Career rebounds are the blueprints for one of Hollywood's favorite narratives, and every time someone pulls it off, that arc comes to the fore. Failed comebacks of the embarrassingly maligned variety tend not to capture the zeitgeist in quite the same way, but just because none have lead to Oscar glory since Mickey Rourke's triumph in 'The Wrestler' doesn't mean that the last two years haven't been over-stuffed with resurgent actors of all kinds.
So let's take a look at five actors who have recently returned to the silver screen with grace, and five who weren't quite so fortunate.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
